A Study of Manufacturing Concrete Block using Agro-Waste
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 0
Abstract
High demand of natural resources due to rapid urbanization and the disposal problem of agricultural wastes in developed countries have created opportunities for use of agro-waste in the construction industry. Many agricultural waste materials are already used in concrete as replacement alternatives for cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and reinforcing materials. Some of the agro-waste materials, which are used as a partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete. It has been seen that the agro-waste concrete containing groundnut shell, oyster shell, cork, rice husk ash and tobacco waste showed better workability. Agro-waste concrete containing bagasse ash, sawdust ash and oyster shell achieved their required strength by 20% of replacement as fine aggregate, which were maximum among all agro-waste type concrete. Close relations were predicted among compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity and elastic modulus of agro-waste concrete. We can achieve every possible new types of constraints which are use for better type concrete block production system in which it includes all calculation.
